Nigerian singer Ruger has sparked reactions on social media after he boasted that he is a better artist than BNXN previously known as Buju.
He made the comment during a question and answer segment he had with his fans on Twitter Thursday night
A Twitter user asked if D Prince, the singer and music executive, has ever told him that BNXN is a better artiste that him.
“Has D’Prince told you bnxn is your grand dad musically?#AskRuger,” he asked.
The Twitter user’s question came after Ruger earlier boasted of his relationship with D’Prince and how the record label boss often commend his works.
“I’m so happy anytime I send@ DPRINCEMAVIN new music and he calls me immediately to tell me “Ruger this is a jam” he’s got the best ears in this industry no one can ever deny that,” Ruger had tweeted.

Reacting, the singer slammed the user and called him a “fool”. He also accompanied his response with a screenshot of his chat, believed to be with D’Prince.
Joining the debate, another Twitter user insisted that BNXN is better than Ruger, adding that “there’s nothing he can do about that.”
“I love Buju he’s good but he’s not better than me. Everything I’ve done since the beginning was only Ruger. All my hits are just Ruger. I’m always proud going on stage around the world with my own hits and everyone is singing along. You see the difference?” he replied.

Buju is good but it will be hard to stan him now.
Ruger murd him with numbers & no feature songs.
Finesse & Mood gave Buju big numbers not his songs.
They are both good artists.

But truth be told ruger is a better talent than buju now, if not for burna and machala juice in buju’s life.
Who sabi ruger before? Which A lister you don see ruger with before? His sound speaks for him.
